      Outsourcing the Wrong Jobs - Room for Debate
      Governments often perversely outsource jobs that are hard to monitor, yet keep
      Politics says privatize.  Business says please do.  No one is watching the store.  
      My great uncle John spent the second half of his long career in government service trying to convince contractors that they would make enough money following the rules.  He found it a constant effort.

      Using Twitter as Your Database
      “Using Twitter as Your Database http://nyti.ms/kWAbSc” 
      Not a real good way to go.  Tweets are self reported.
      Works OK with a closed reporting pool.

      Who Is a Jew? Court Ruling in Britain Raises Question
      LONDON — The questions before the judges in Courtroom No. 1 of Britain’s Supreme Court were as ancient and as complex as Judaism itself.
      If there were not at least two sides to things there would be no reason to rule on them.  
      I do not get to say.  I do have an opinion:
      In general religion has no standing in the state and the state has no standing in religion.  Real separation is a good rule.
      Britain deeply and traditionally involved with religion. The civil courts have standing in this case to the extent that the school accepts funds from the state.  If the school wishes to not follow the rulings of the courts it must refuse the public monies.

    Why Gold Came to Be a Currency - Room for Debate

    We Are the Mainstream - Room for Debate
    The majority of the American people are on the side of the Tea Party Patriots when we say to our government: “stop overspending.”
    I would suggest that she examine her "facts".   If the tea party survives the next election I will be very surprised.  The statistics I read do not agree with her.   I have been very surprised before.
    10% is not a mainstream.

    Gold Is a Proven Asset - Room for Debate
    There is no need for the government to hoard gold as backing for currency; gold itself should be the currency that circulates.
    Ron Paul is divorced from reality.

    How Budget Cuts Will Change the Black Middle Class - Room for Debate
    What will the shrinking of the public sector mean for the economic prospects of African-Americans?
    Here is the article cited in the introduction:
    http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2011/07/12/obamageddon-coming-to-a-city-near-you/
    Here is the wikipedia page for the magazine:

    A first reference from the wiki page:
    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A03E4D7143CF930A25750C0A9639C8B63
    Dissident Conservatives.  Tea Party?
    The American Interest seems to be most interested in civil order which is seen to be in danger from the destruction of the black middle class.
    The destruction is seen as a plus.

    In Debt Talks, Did the Tea Party Win? - Room for Debate
    Have the conservative freshmen Republicans misrepresented their constituents in being too rigid in their approach to the debt crisis?
    They achieved their objective.   In doing that they now own the problems.  Those problems will get much worse.  A win not worth the price.

    Will the Norway Massacre Deflate Europe's Right Wing? - Room for Debate
    The killings could weaken nationalist fervor in Europe, as the Oklahoma City bombing cooled off militias in the U.S. in the late 1990s. 
    The Oklahoma bombing was an attempt to start a civil war.  The Norway Massacre was an attempt to promote a crusade.  Witch hunting will continue.

    Now the Tea Party Has Romney - Room for Debate
    The Tea Party has succeeded in dragging Mitt Romney away from the political center in their direction and toward their budgetary priorities.

    Europe is crashing.  Watch the Republicans try to blame the American collapse on Europe.  It will be hard to do that as the stock market runs up.  Hot money running from the crash.
